A Prayer While Birthing
Birthing Blessings
Merle Feld
Help me to protect and nurture and guide
this new, yet undiscovered soul.
And let me not curse the child or myself
when we both prove to be only human.
Lines excerpted from the poem, “Birthing Blessings” by Merle Feld, published in “A Spiritual Life: A Jewish Feminist Journey” (State University of New York), 1999
